It's Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word

I don’t think people outside of tech hearing about OpenAI more than Claude is really indicative of much. Ask those same people how much they use an LLM and it’s often rare-to-never.

Also, in what way has OpenAI become the Kleenex of the LLM space? Anthropic, Google, Facebook have no gpts, nobody “gpts” something, nobody uses that companies “gpt”.

I would say perhaps OpenAI has become the Napster, MySpace, or Facebook of the LLM space. Time will tell how long they keep that title

I am surrounded by people who "ask GPT" things constantly.

That seems like the same thing to me.

Are these people asking chatGPT though? Or do they say “ask GPT” and then use other LLMs?

I feel like I hear “ask Claude” as much as “ask chatGPT”

Yeah... I think it's GPT.

I just sampled my family and nobody could name an LLM that wasn't GPT. In this very small, obviously anecdotal scenario, GPT == LLM.

They seemed vaguely aware that there are other options; my wife asked if I meant Bing.

Meanwhile, I have literally never heard the words "ask Claude" out loud. I promise to come back and confirm if/when that ever changes.
